The Predator used to be another of Carol's split-personalities, this time her masculine side. Then it was retconned into being an ancient Maltus (pre-Guardians) parasite and ended up impregnating Carol, then Star Sapphire and Predator were given there own bodies and killed by Neron who took the child.

Am I the only one made kind of sad by the prospect of some of my favourite characters returning in a corrupted zombie form?

I mean, take Wesley Dodds.

He was the first official superhero in the DCU, was a man who even Batman respected and who gave his life to protect the identity of the new Dr Fate way back at the beginning of the Robinson JSA reboot.

Returning as a partially pancaked zombie (he threw himself off a mountain) is... sort of disrespectful.

And that's not even going into the fact that apparently the likes of Pantha are coming back according to the solicits, presumably leading to a team-up with Anima's lower section and Bushido's upper body.

It's all about what they do with it. Johns, like Robinson, is ultimately one who loves to celebrate DC's history and past characters. I'm just waiting to see what happens when the dead characters are freed from the Black Lantern's corrupting powers...
